Twitter feed Sleepy Commuters publishes pictures of knackered workers snoring their way through journeys on trains, buses and Tubes. Exhausted passengers are seen sleeping in a variety of extraordinary positions - slumped almost out of a seat, lying on the ground and even with a nose mashed against a pole. Other entries include a man exposing his stomach and another dozing with his head on a sleeping woman's chest.
